Presidential Lawn Signs: Friend or Foe?

Driving down a quiet street, you suddenly spot a massive sign in someone's yard, proudly displaying their support for a presidential candidate. Does this make you think, "Maybe I should reconsider my vote? " Probably not. Lawn signs for presidential candidates often spark more division than dialogue. Let's take a step back. Lawn signs for local elections can be pretty useful. They let you know who's running for city council or county positions. But when it comes to national politics, things get a bit more heated.People tend to stick to their political views, like glue to paper. Left-leaning folks are likely to vote left, right-leaning folks to the right. And those in the middle? Well, they're a bit harder to pin down these days. So, does seeing a "TRUMP 2024" sign on 2nd Street in Sartell make a typical Democrat rethink their vote? Unlikely. Or what about the ninth "HARRIS/WALZ" sign? Does it finally sway someone who wasn't convinced by the first eight? Doubtful. These signs aren't persuading anyone; they're more like red flags stating, "I'm on this side, are you with me or against me? "
